Gentlemen: — 

Enclosed  please  find  the  analysis  of  the  sample  of  Vade 
Mecum  Water  which  I  trust  will  meet  your  expectations. 

You  ask  me  to  express  my  opinion  in  regard  to  the 
value  and  uses  of  this  water.  In  compliance  to  this  re- 
quest, 1  beg  to  state,  that  I  consider  the  water  very  val- 
uable for  the  following  reasons: — 

1st.  It  is  a  decidedly  palatable  water,  making  it  on 
that  account  very  acceptable. 

2d.  It  has  a  decided  medicinal  effect;  taken  in  ordin- 
ary quantities,  a  glassful  three  or  four  times  a  day,  it  will 
produce  in  most  persons  one  or  two  easy  evacuations, 
without  griping;  and  v\  hen  taken  in  large  quantities,  will 
produce  active  purgation.  In  addition  to  the  above,  I 
believe  it  to  have  a  decided  action  on  the  liver  and  should 
produce  very  beneficial  effects  in  cases  of  engorgement  of 
that  organ  on  continued  use  of  the  water  in  moderate 
quantities. 

I  further  believe  that  you  will  find  it  to  be  useful  in 
cases  of  gouty  diathesis  and  as  a  general  alterative. 

Trusting  the  above,  in  connection  with  the  enclosed 
analysis,  will  give  you  the  desired  information,  I  am, 
Very  respectfully  yours, 

HENRY  FROEHLING.

HE  SIGNAL  results  which  attend  the  use  of  our  water  have  made  it  an  economic 
necessity.    Those  who  know  it,  buy  it  as  they  buy  bread.    No  other  water  carries 
so  well  or  keeps  so  long.    With  our  "Perfect  Poplar  Barrel"  the  expense 
problem  is  solved,  and  the  inferior  waters  requiring  expensive  vessels,  must  look 
for  purchasers   where  our  water  is  not  known. 

As  stated  by  one  of  our  grateful  patrons  "The  Vade  Mecum  water  is  a  blessing  from 
God,  intended  by  Him  to  heal  the  people."  Entertaining  such  a  thought,  it  is  our  aim  to  let

THE  RCTION  OF  HINERRL  WJ\TERS. 

FROM  AN  EMINENT  AUTHORITY. 


"The  action  of  mineral  waters  may  be  divided  into  tlie 
IMMEDIATE  and  the  REMOTE. 

The  IMMEDIATE  action  is  present  as  a  stimulent,  sedative 
or  eliminant,  according'  to  the  constitution  of  the  water. 

The  ELIMINANT  action  results  from  the  effect  of  the  waters 
on  the  intestines,  kidneys  and  skin.  Waters  containing  chloride 
of  sodium,  sulphate  of  soda,  or  sulphate  of  mag-nesia,  in  large 
proportion,  act  readily  on  the  intestines.  The  alkaline  and 
calcic  waters  prove  diuretic,  some  of  them  stimulating  the  kid- 
neys in  a  marked  manner. 

The  REnOTE  action  of  mineral  waters  is  its  alterative 
effect.  And  this,  in  the  majority  of  diseases,  is  by  far  the  most 
important  qualit}'. 

Alteratives  are  medicines  which  in  appropriate  doses,  modify 
the  nutrition  of  the  body  without  producing  any  antecedent  phe- 
nomena. This  is  precisely  the  result  obtained  by  the  long=con  = 
tinued  use  of  mineral  waters  in  moderate  doses. 

As  has  been  before  stated,  we  are  only  so  much  water  in 
combination  with  varied  proportions  of  carbon,  oxj'gen,  hydro- 
gen, 'itrogen,  chloride  of  sodium,  phosphate  of  lime,  carbonate 
of  lime,  carbonate  of  soda,  etc.  The  water  thus  combined  may 
be  termed.  Jhe  water  of  constitution,  answering  the  same  pur- 
pose in  rr^  ataining  the  body  in  form,  that  the  water  of  crys- 
talization  does  in  continuing  a  crystal  in  its  integrity. 


For  the  ordinarj'  purposes  of  quenching  thirst  we  imbibe 
waters  containing  a  very  Minute  quantity  of  mineral  ingre- 
dients ;  but  when  we  repair  to  a  mineral  fountain  for  the  cure 
of  disease  we  drink  freely  of  water  containing  double,  treble, 
quadruple,  and  even  a  hundred  times,  the  quantity  and  number 
of  chemical  constituents.  The  water  thus  introduced,  slowly 
and  regularly  penetrates  every  blood-vessel,  capillarj^  and  tissue 
of  the  bodily  structure,  gradularly  replacing  the  water  of  con- 
stitution, and  by  its  different  chemical  affinities  changing  the 
molecular  organism.  It  is  not  maintained  that  all  of  the  constit- 
uents of  the  mineral  water  are  retained,  doubtless  an  almost  in- 
finitesimal quantity  is  incorporated  each  day,  but  in  the  course 
of  weeks  there  is  a  decided  and  radical  change — an  alterative 
effect — manifested  by  increased  metamorphosis  of  tissue,  by 
elimination  of  poisonous  elements,  by  the  cure  of  disease. 

All  mineral  waters  produce  an  alterative  action.  Is  there 
any  difference  in  this  action  as  it  results  from  various  waters? 
"We  answer  unhesitatingl)',  YES.  The  alterative  effect  of 
alkaline  waters  exhibits  itself  in  a  reduction  of  the  fibrinous 
elements  of  the  blood — In  a  modification  of  the  processes  which 
produce  lithic  acid. 

Saline  waters  exert  their  influence  most  decidedly  on  the 
glandular  system.  Sulphur  waters  tend  to  the  skin.  Chaly- 
beate waters  effect  the  red  globules  of  the  blood."

VADE  MECUM  SPRING. 

DISCOVERY. 

Many  years  ago  Prof.  S.  W.  Dewey,  from  New  Eng- 
land, an  eminent  geologist,  said  to  be  a  relative  of  tiie 
hero  of  Manila,  was  prospecting  in  the  Sauratown  Moun- 
tains of  Stokes  County,  N.  C. 

He  is  believed  to  have  been  sent  here  by  the  heirs  of 
General  Pickering  to  whom  the  State  of  North  Carolina  had 
granted  10,000  acres  of  these  wild  lands,  in  recognition  ol 
his  services  to  the  cause  of  Liberty.  It  was  he  who  found 
here  the  mine  of  ITACOLlMlfE  OR  FLEXIBLE  SANDSTONE  and 
with  it  this  wonderful  spring,  bursting  up  through  the  bed 
rock  of  a  large  creek,  2(3,000  gallons  strong  per  day.  His 
enthusiasm  over  its  incomparable  qualities  is  one  of  the  tra- 
ditions handed  down  to  the  present  generation.  The  creek 
covered  it  again.  The  title  to  these  lands  is  but  lately 
settled,  and  the  wealth  of  this  discovery  remained  a  sealed 
book  to  the  innocent  denizens  of  this  region. 

From  time  to  time  as  the  water  was  accessable  it 
accomplished  cures,  which  if  told  abroad  would  have 
startled  the  world.  Finally  in  1900,  the  closing  days  of  a 
wonderful  century,  its  owner  W.  H.  Vaden  reported  such 
results  as  to  attract  attention  abroad.  Its  sale  followed  at 
once,  and  the  publication  of  the  analysis  on  September 
14th,  1900,  created  a  profound  impression.  A  strong  com- 
pany began  at  once  the  preparation  for  the  throng  which  a 
great  resort  must  attract.  It  is  approched  by  the  vSouthern 
Railway,  a  few  miles  North  of  Rural  Hall,  N.  C,  25  miles 
North  of  Winston-Salem,  N.  C.  ;  45  miles  Northwest  of 
Greensboro,  N.  C.  Such  is  a  short  account  of  a  discovery 
destined  to  become  known  and  read  of  all  men.

MEANING  OF  OUR  ANALYSIS. 


The  human  body,  average  weight  154  pounds,  is  com- 
posed of  38  pounds  of  dry  matter  and  116  pounds  of  water. 

This  proportion  must  be  maintained  by  taking  75  to 
100  ounces  of  water  daily.  Failing  to  do  this  the  body 
becomes  lean,  the  bowels  constipated,  the  urine  high  col- 
ored, the  skin  dry  and  sallow,  the  feet  cold,  the  liver  and 
other  organs  sluggish  and  disease  a  necessary  result. 

In  addition  to  pure  water,  the  human  body  requires 
salts,  such  as  sulphate  of  magnesia,  chloride  of  sodium. 


calcium  chlorine,  lithia,  etc.  to  preserve  a  normal  tone  and 
stimulate  the  secretion  of  the  gastric  juices,  and  excite  the 
peristaltic  action  of  the  membranes.  All  of  these  we  find 
in  the  Vade  Mecum  water,  also  the  carbonates  which  be- 
come salts  by  action  of  the  gastric  juices,  iron  to  enrich  the 
blood,  purifying  sulphates  to  soothe  irritation  and  allay 
inflamation,  carbonic  acid  to  lighten  the  pressure,  stimu- 
late and  aid  digestion.  These  should  be  taken  to  preserve 
health,  and  must  be  taken  to  restore  it. 


PHYSICANS  LAY  NO  CLAIM  TO  THE   ART   OF  BLENDING 
THESE    ELEMENTS    EQUAL    TO   THE  NATURAL. 

We  state  upon  authority  THAT  IN  NO  OTHER  WATER  can  so  many  of  the 

■^ELEMENTS   NECESSARY  TO  HEALTH.   BLENDED   IN    SO    PERFECT  A    MANNER,   BE  FOUND.

diseases  of  the  urinary  apparatus,  such  as  catarrh  of  the 
bladder,  gravel  and  calculus,  and  are  even  preferable  to 
alkaline  waters.  They  also  prove  valuable  in  gastralgic 
dyspepsia  and  diabetes  mellitus."  From  Dr.  Walton's 
"Mineral  Springs,"  page  268. 


Multum  in  Par^fo. 

You  have  heard  of  Salts  Springs,  Sulphur  Springs, 
Iron  Springs,  Soda  Springs,  Lime  Springs,  Lithia  Springs, 


but  you  will  find  no  where  else  a  perfectly  blended  Saline= 
SuIphurous=Chal>'beate=Alkaline=Calcic- Lithia  Water  — 

acting  as  a  purgative,  diuretic,  diaporetic  and  tonic.  More 
remarkable  still,  these  elements  are  so  mixed  as  to  be  self 
preserving  and  admit  of  shipping  in  wood,  earthen  or 
glass  vessels. 


It  may  not  be  known  to  many  that  catarrhal  conditions 
of  the  mucus  membrane,  particularly  of  the  alimentary  or- 
gans are  treated  as  many  diff'erent  diseases.  For  all  of 
these  the  Vade  Mecum  mineral  water  is  a  Specific  and 
a  positive  and  immediate  cure. 


After  examining  with  care  the  analysis  of  all  the  lead-

We  hesitate  to  come  before  the  public,  this  early  in  our  career  with  all   the   curative    qualities    of    the  Vade 
Mecum  Water.     What  we  have  stated  may  strike  some  as  exaggeration.     If  such  should  be  your  thought, 
we  can  but  invite  you  to  read  the  following  estimates  put  upon  it  by  physicians    who  have 
seen,  and  testimonials  of  patients  who  have  felt  the  benefits  which  cannot  be  exaggerated. 


After  quite  an  extended  ex^rience  of  prescribing  and 
notingf  results  of  the  various  mineral  waters,  I  unhesitatingly 
think  this  water  the  best  general  renovator  and  "  builder  up  "  of 
them  all.  For  scrofula,  catarrh  and  blood  diseases  generally  it  is 
almost  a  specific.  Too  much,  in  my  opinion,  cannot  be  said  of  the 
curative  properties  of  the  Vade  Mecum  water.

The  V;:.de  Mecum  Water  has  a  wide  range  of  usefulness  in 
the  field  of  therapeutics.  It  is  especially  indicated  in  the  diseases 
de-  -nding  upon  glandular  inactivity  of  the  alimentary  canal,  the 
liTt  and  the  kidneys.  In  habitual  constipation,  jaundice  and 
srae-Ja  it  is  i/ie  water  par  excellence.  It  is  also  a  valuable  agent 
ia  the  .;^eatment  of  scrofula,  rickets,  glandular  enlargements  and 
sandry  phenomena  depending   upon   mal-nutrition  and  blood

In  the  Vade  Mecum  water  we  have  a  combination  that  must 
certainly  prove  of  service  in  treatment  of  most  of  our  so-called 
chronics,  especially  rheumatic  disorders,  uric  and  lithic  acid 
diathesis  of  plethoric  and  irritable  systems,  dyspepsia  and  head- 
ache with  torpid  bowels  (biliousness  so-called)  anemia,  chlorosis 
and  uterine  diseases.  It  has  proved  of  service  in  my  practice,  and 
I  have  great  confidence  in  it  and  shall  continue  to  prescribe  it  in 
conditions  as  above  noted.

I  take  pleasure  in  saying  that  I  have  used  the  water  from  the 
Vade  Mecum  Spring,  Stokes  County,  N.  C,  with  very  great 
benefit.  I  have  recommended  it  to  many  others  and  I  '  elieve 
they  have  received  great  benefit  from  it  also. 

From  the  analysis  and  my  individual  experience  I  believe  it 
possesses  great  curative  powers  and  should  be  freely  distributed 
over  the  whole  country  that  the  people  may  easily  procure  it.

Gentlemen  :— After  using  forty  bottles  of  the  Vade  Mecum 
Water,  I  am  prepared  to  say  that  for  indigestion,  sluggish  liver 
and  acidity  of  the  stomach,  with  which  I  have  been  troubled  for 
months,  I  find  it  the  most  satisfactory  of  all  mineral  water.s 
(L,ithia,  Sulphur  and  Tate's)  I  have  used.  I  am  not  prepared  to 
discontinue  its  use  yet.  I  have  no  trouble  with  the  ailments 
mentioned,  yet  I  want  to  let  the  recovery  be  complete.  I  have 
never  felt  better  in  my  life,  and  I  am  hopeful  that  my  cure  is 
complete.  I  allow  no  opportunity  to  pass  in  which  I  can  help 
yoii  and  lunnanity.  I  will  continue  the  use  of  the  water  for  some 
time  to  come.  I  thought  Harris  Lithia  could  not  be  excelled,  but 
Vade  Mecum  knocks  it  out.  I  am  enthusiastic  in  its  praise, 
and  recommend  it  to  all  sufferers  from  above  named  ills.

IN    HIS   89TH  YEAR. 

Winston,  N.  C,  Oct.  22,  1900. 
I  have  been  afflicted  with  catarrh  for  10  years,  for  2  years 
past  could  not  hear  with  satisfaction.  I  tried  different  waters — 
Buffalo  Eithia,  The  White  Sulphur  of  Mt.  Airy,  Warren  County 
Water  and  Moore's— also  all  kinds  of  medicine  recommended  for 
catarrh,  including  Hall's  Catarrh  Cure.  Several  different 
physicians  treated  me  ;  but  I  got  no  relief  until  I  used  Vade 
Mecum  Water.  It  has  done  me  more  good  in  four  weeks  than 
all  other  remedies  in  years.  I  am  in  my  89th  year,  and  have 
gained  seven  pounds  since  I  began  to  use  this  water.  It  has  given 
me  a  new  lease  on  life.  In  all  my  long  life  I  have  never  known 
such  a  remedy.  It  is  a  blessing  from  God,  intended  by  him  to 
heal  the  people.

We  find  your  water  first-class  and  as  good  as  recommended

I  have  lived  in  Stokes  County  for  30  years — the  past  10  or  12 
years  on  Charles  and  John  Moore's  place— and  during  the  time  I 
used  Moore's  Spring  Water  off  and  on  all  the  time.  I  have  been 
afflicted  with  fistula,  constipation  and  eczema  for  12  or  13  years. 
My  leg-s  and  arms  were  broken  out  badly.  I  tried  everything-  and 
could  get  no  cure.  In  December  1899,  I  moved  to  the  Vaden 
Spring,  now  called  "Vade  Mecum  Springs,"  and  began  to  use  the 
water.  I  am  now  cured  of  all  these  troubles.  The  eczema  passed 
off  after  I  began  to  bathe  with  and  drink  the  water.  I  took  no 
medicine,  and  know  that  my  cure  was  affected  by  this  water.  It 
is  a  powerful  laxative.  W.  H.  VADEN.

There  probably  never  has  been  such  a  record  of  cures  and 
beneficial  results  from  the  use  of  a  mineral  water  in  the  same 
period  of  time.  It  goes  without  sayint,'-  that  here  must  grow  up 
a  g-reat  and  famous  resort.— From  Charlotte  Observer,  Febru- 
ary 17,  1901. 

It  is  well  known  that  North  Carolina  is  rich  in  natural 
resources,  and  especially  in  minerals.  But  it  was  not  known 
that  we  had  here  a  water,  rich  in  every  important  mineral  and 
so  perfectly  blended  that  it  becomes  at  once  a  specific  for  the 
ills  which  one-half  the  human  family  is  heir  to.— From  Twin 
City  Daily,  February  18,  1901. 

The  publication  of  the  analysis  of  this  water  on  September 
14th,  1900,  created  profound  impression,  as  North  Carolina  has 
nothing  to  compare  with  it.— From  Raleigh  News  and  Observer, 
March  17,  1901. 

The  Vade  Mecum  has  leaped  into  fame  as  a  curative  agent 
within  the  last  year  or  two  and  gained  a  place  in  the  estimation 
of  the  medical  fraternity  and  public,  that  proves  it  to  be  a 
marvelous  water.  It  seems  to  be  the  ideal  combination  of  tonic, 
laxative,  diuretic,  blood  purifier,  and  restorative  nervine.  The 
beauty  of  it  is  that  it  can  be  used  at  home  and  its  real  medical 
value  is  established  by  the  cures  it  makes  there. — From  Web=

This  mineral  water  lately  discovered  in  Stokes  County,  has 
won  a  spontaneous  popularit)'.  The  analj'sis  shows  106  grains

cians to  be  the  best  laxative  and  healing-  water  in  use. — From 
NeA-bern  Journal,  June  18,  1901. 

From  reports  it  is  learned  that  the  Vade  Mecum  is  to  take  the 
lead  the  coming  season,  that  thousands  o£  gallons  of  water  arc 
being  shipped  all  over  the  world.  Excellent  roads  are  being-

Nothing  can  be  more  joyous  and  invigorating  than  to 
engage  some  of  the  company's  burros  and  climb  to  Moore's 
Knob,  3,000  feet  high,  trace  the  hunters'  trail  to  Tory  Den 
and  the  Cascade,  visit  the  Itacolumite  Mines  and  the  Rock 
House,  run  down  to  the  Morotock  Bend,  or  up  the  Pilot's 
Castellated  Peak — reserving  for  another  day,  the  Mill  of 
the  Revolution,  Diamond  Cave,  Indian  Spring,  Cook's 
Wall  and  Iron  Banks. 

GOLF  LINKS  have  been  provided  for,  and  an  open  air 
Pavilion  will  serve  to  chase  the  glowing  hours  with  flying 
feet,  when  the  commodious  ball  room  fails  to  contain  the 
throng  of  youth  intent  upon  the  DANCE. 

The  LAKE  with  its  little  fleet  of  barges,  will  hold  the 
gaze  and  admiration  of  young  and  old,  when  all  else  has 
failed,  and  no  one  will  omit  the  plunge  down  the  SHOOT 
THE  CHUTE  into  its  limpid  waters. 

Should  these  attractions  fail,  there  is  one  that  will  no,

THE  RAREST  THING  IN  NATURE. 


You  would  say  diamonds,  and  the  answer  would  not  be 
far  from  the  truth,  only  one  degree  of  kin  removed.  Ita= 
columite  or  flexible  stone  is  the  mother  rock  of  diamonds. 
It  is  found  nowhere  in  North  America  except  at  Vade 
Mecum  Spring  in  the  Sauratown  Mountains,  vStokes  Coun- 
ty, N.  C. 

It  is  strange  that  it  appears  at  just  one  place  in  each  of 
the  s'x  continents  ;  in  the  Itacolumi  Mountains  of  Brazil, 
at  Kimberly,  South  Africa,  in  the  Ural  Mountains  of 
Europe,  at  the  foot  of  the  Himalaya  Mountains,  India,  and 
near  Melbourne  in  Australia;  and  at  each  of  these  mines  of 
flexible  sandstone,  diamonds  have  been  found  in  abun- 
dance. For  vastness  of  deposit,  beauty  of  structure,  and 
flexibility  of  movement,  none  of  the  other  world  famed 
deposits  equal  this  newly  opened  mine  at  Vade  Mecum 
Spring. 

The  Vade  Mecum  Spring  Company  has  acquired  all  of 
this  rare  rock  yci  discovered,  covering  or  underlying  about 
IdOO  acres,  and  is  now  mining  and  preparing  it  for  the  arts 


and  museums,  and  for  general  stributation  as  souvenirs 
and  curios. 

Visitors  to  this  resort  will  see  the  only  equipment  on 
earth  for  tlie  manufact  ure  of  the  various  products  of  this 
rare  material. 

It  is  useful  in  cutting  and  polishing  marble  and  other 
stones,  makes  the  best  sand  paper  and  whet  rocks,  a  durable 
lining  for  furnaces,  anJ  cuts  glass  like  diamond  or  emery. 
As  an  absorbant  it  has  the  same  effect  in  the  prevention  of 
hydrophobia  that  is  supposed  to  be  peculiar  to  the  mad- 
stone.  And  without  doubt  it  is  the  most  CURIOUS  of  all 
CURIOS  found  on  our  Planet. 

The  company  has  been  compelled  to  provide  for  the 
filling  of  orders  by  mail,  selling  bars  of  five  different  sizes 
at  $0.25,  $0.50,  $0.75,  $1.00  and  $2.00  respectively,  with 
50%  additional  for  postage.  It  is  the  wonder  and  ad- 
miration of  everyone.  You  cannot  find  it  except  at 
Vade  Mecum  vSprings. 

WE  INVITE  INQUIRY.
